I have LS2004 AV Edition, and I've noticed quite a few viruses getting through, particularly variants of Bagel. Most of these have been caught by Norton Antivirus, but have been certified as "clean" by Bit Defender even when they contain obviously suspicious attachments like .scr. New definitions are downloaded daily. Anyone know why this could be happening? I'm losing confidence in this product!

Hmm..I have not had a problem witht this at all for any of my clients. Are you sure you're using the absolute latest virus definitions from the update site? It should tell you on the AV settings what the last update was. If it wasn't today, then I would say this might be the problem. Try to update manually and see what it says.
Also, are you sure these messages are being processed through LS? Any mail that doesn't go through LS (downloaded via Hotmail, for example) or collected directly from an ISP to the client computer is not scanned.

No, I do have the most recent definitions, and the mail was processed by the server. The ironic thing is that when I open the message using the web interface, the attachment is there (xxx.scr), along with the little logo from BidDefender certifying that the message is safe.
Is there somewhere to report this so that either Software602 or BitDefender can check it out? I don't want to send them an email containing a virus, but I can probably send the entry from my log, which certifies the message as clean, and also send the notification from Norton AV, identifying the same message as infected.
